really needing some support right now

I'm trying to leave an abusive relationship... We have been together 3 years and a few days ago we had a disagreement and he choked me I left him immediately after but now he is trying to convince me I'm over reacting saying it was nothing and I shouldn't have said what I said.. this is not the first time, and this is the 5th or 6th time I've tried to leave. he keeps telling me that I'm the one who is over reacting.... I could really use some prayers and encouraging words to not go back, to keep me moving forward knowing I'm doing the right thing, and to give me hope! please!!.... I still haven't told my family or friends what's going on. I'm in a safe place but he is trying to get me to come back.. and I could just really use some kind of support right now... I thought about reaching out to support groups in my area but I feel scared and nervous to do so... Especially because he keeps telling me that I'm overdramatic.
